Hi @trogdor!
Thank you so much for valuable information. I understand more of EOS from your posting.
I have a serious concern about EOS. As in "EOS Toke Purse Agreement", EOS tokens have no purpose and uses (please see Clause 1.4 and 7.1 in the following link).
https://eos.io/purchaseagreement/EOS%20Token%20Purchase%20Agreement%20-%20June%2022,%202017.pdf
This is again expressively stated in FAQ in the EOS website as well (https://eos.io/faq.html).
In my opinion, this contradicts the EOS' concept of network ownership (while EOS is a rental model).
Would you please help with this? Is really EOS tokens nothing usable in the network?
